17. Bidder's Question: (Bill James, MidMountain Contractors)
• Concerning Gazebo:The "Natural Rust" color is a custom color. If you want it in
24ga.we would have to order 45sq. for manufacturer to make it. However, AEP
does have a coil of 26ga in the "Natural Rust". Would this be of interest to the
architect?
• Concerning Gazebo:The Gazebo has multiple slopes and no detail callouts to
accompany. It is my assumption that each roof is a separate entity. Am I correct
in assuming that the detail 4/A1.06 is the rake at gridlines 2.1, 2.2, 2.4& 2.5?
• Concerning Gazebo:The architect is asking for the gutter color to be TNEMEC
"Briquet" Once again this is a custom color and would need to order a larger
quantity than needed, thus incurring much greater cost.
Response: (Rich Murakami, Rolluda Architects)
• The specification has been revised to resolve gauge issue.The revision will be
issued in the Addendum.
• Detail callouts are on architectural plans and sections. There are 3 roofs, but the
structure is interconnected (i.e. one structure). Roofs slope generally to the
west with a ridge condition at gridline 2.5, ridge with gutter condition below at
gridline 2.4, ridge with gutter condition at gridline 2.2, and gutter condition at
gridline 2.1. Rake condition detail on 4/A1.06 occurs on the south and north
roof edges.

• Product and Color are per Phase 1 of the park project and confirmed as
specified. In addition to the Gazebo,this is the primary finish for the 3 Pergolas
as well.
18. Bidder's Question: (Bill James, MidMountain Contractors)
• Concerning Pergolas: I'd like to clarify with you that the Pergola's have no metal
roof and thus, no gutter, rake, peak or flashing of any kind. So there's nothing to
bid.
Response: (Rich Murakami, Rolluda Architects)
• Confirmed.There is no metal roof, gutter or sheet metal flashing on the pergola
structures.
